Dear Henry, thank you for your hint on the address. It came on the last second, at five in the morning before leaving so I could not answer directly. And yes: I was in his shop an was able to play on his Lasnier. Nice tone, but far away from beeing good playable. The trumpet sounded nice, but the tangents of the 2nd chanterelle were nearly overall too far from the string. When the tangents of the first string touch the string the tangents of the other were still 3 mm away from the string. I did noit try both chanterelles at the same time caus I could imagine the result. So 3.500 Euro from my point of view faar to expensive.
Anyway it was nice to see his collection.
